  1. Do we even own anything anymore?

  2. #MissKittyPolitics If your #human #rights are met, and TOTALLY met as in the #UDHR, then my expectation is that most people's wants after that are not over the top. Private land #ownership ruins the ability to properly design resources and the use thereof. It is a debacle. #System design failure.🔦🔦🔦

  3. #MissKitty's opinion is I can listen, but I need to understand the opinion I get from #AI was prompted by me. For me, I have full #ownership of everything including my #death. I can't control when it happens, but I accept it. I am about my own #deep #dive. Then AI does what I tell it once I know.

  5. @Ftarak: Eventually, physical media will cease to exist. No matter the brand or the company.

    @KalvinCJ 🌷✦: Then, PlayStation consoles should also cease to exist in any physical form according to your logic.

  6. Imagine a company creating in-house CRM as a replacement for salesforce. Pretending that the in-house version is somehow better -- would be discarding millions of hours that were put into salesforce

    Instead, it's much more productive to use salesforce as a prototype while making the next version with better terms

  7. evaluating #LLM carefully and voicing concerns is not hate

    putting human before any system, algorithm or other construct is not hate

    it is appreciation for human ingenuity, reasoning and knowledge

    it is love of humanity
    nothing less

    after six years hype we see hard evidence
    #salami is producing #slop at scale
    wasting resources, eroding trust and putting #democracy, #privacy, #freedom, #ownership, #copyright ... you name it at risk (spoken diplomatically)

  8. [P] I'm sorry, but the "You don't own anything!" argument continues to bug me. You haven't eince the seventh gen! The only exceptions were the Wii, DS, PSP, and 3DS. If a game on a closed system requires a patch to play it properly (or at all), and that patch is licensed to you? You don't own it. The only games one owns are on jailbroken consoles, DRM-free PC games, or easily-cracked fully-patched PC games. And I'll explain why.

  9. Sony PlayStation no longer wants us to own video games. As I understand, they implied we are only being licensed to the games. Days ago, they emailed users the full Terms of Service or something similar, asserting Sony PlayStation policy. Ok, what's your opinion? Because I very rarely play video games. Plus, I have never owned a console.

  10. Bought a Kindle book last night. $9.99 for "The Hot Rock" by Donald E. Westlake. I read it years and years ago and wanted a copy. (Actually would like to get all the entire Dortmunder series eventually.)

    There are FIVE pages of ads between the cover page and the start of the actual book. I knew that I wasn't really "buying" the book. I'm merely getting use of it for as long as Amazon allows. But I'm drawing the line at FIVE pages of ads at the start of the book.

    I tried returning it this morning, but it "isn't eligible" for return.

    Time to go to bookshop.org and get a copy, a real, physical copy, of the book for my shelf.

  11. "We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

  13. RE: mastodon.online/@tomshardware/

    Another reason modern internet life sucks. We rely on cloud services you have no control over as a business. First time I've noticed it with a big service though.

    Like consumer streaming services: When people stopp buying MP3s they run the risk of only being able to access what the streaming services have licenses for, and you're at risk if they go bust. I have gaps in my Deezer playlists because of things disappearing. History getting lost for one reason or another.

    "Student Purin Khumchoo said he felt te suspect was “a troubled kid” but appeared “very professional” when he'd aimed te gun at him.. #Thailand has one of te highest rates of #gun #ownership in te region & #pastpromises of tightening #gunlaws have not prevented repeated shootings🤦‍♂️. “I can’t believe how a child like him cld get access to a gun,” Pawarisa said. “I’m a bit worried tt other kids might also have guns”"

  16. A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

    COVET, v.i. To desire that which the owner wickedly withholds.

    Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
    “Covet,” “Devil’s Dictionary” column, San Francisco Wasp (1881-10-07)

  17. The roaming cats of Bellingen are one of the biggest threats to wildlife

    "The average pet cat kills 110 native animals each year, roughly 320 million across Australia, and that doesn’t even include frogs or insects. The species is directly responsible for the third highest number of extinctions in Australia, after humans and chytrid fungus."

    Victoria has " effective legislation that’s empowering local government to take action on the issue of roaming pet cats."
